Very power efficient Astrophotography Rig using Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi Forums
hi all, have been building power efficient arm based devices auto guide , run planetarium software mobile astrophotography rig.
aim when started project create power efficient mobile asto rig could. rig consists of heq5 mount, guide scope , camera, imaging camera, raspberry pi (either pi0w or pi3) , 2 dew heaters guide scope , imaging scope not dew up.
up, running draws 12vdc@1.8a (22watts) of power.
compiled phd2 on pi0 w (512mg ram single core 1ghz processor) runs on 1watt of power.
, works well. ultimate standalone auto guiding setup. pi0 w isn't powerful enough run planetarium software on, guiding perfect.
remote pi0 w via vnc (i use mobile phone) , run phd2 would.
i'm calling pihd2 auto guider.
